I really haven't seen his name mentioned but I would not mind the Wings bringing Ray Whitney back for a second tour...especially if it keeps Jagr out of here.
I know the guys 40, but he still has wheels, right handed shot, and puts the Puck in the net.

I personally don't like how much stock people put into AHL numbers. Some players go nuts in the AHL, but then do nothing in the NHL. Some players are disappointments in the AHL and then become crucial players.

I love all those matchups as of now. As of now would love for us to face Dallas and or Phoenix again. Way to early to tell though where everyone will finish up, including us. Gotta think though the "Central" teams will probably finish 1, 3, 4 and 5 or 3, 4, 5 and 7th or 8th. The log jam in the "Central" makes things all the more interesting as I expect to see St. Louis, Nashville and Chicago all making the playoffs minus a collapse. That leaves 4 other teams to make it. Vancouver, San Jose, LA, and Phoenix? We shall see

I doubt there is any risk putting Ty on waivers anyways. I don't think there are any teams desperate enough to think picking him up would help them in any signifigant way so he would almost certainly clear and make it to Grand Rapids. Option 2 could see Kenny keep him up until the trade deadline and try to find him a place to play and toss him in as part of another deal, but I doubt he'd find any takers.
